BERKLEY — In 2020, the city of Berkley, its Downtown Development Authority and school district formed a partnership to turn a plot of land into a plaza.
The vacant land sits next to Berkley High School on Coolidge Highway between Catalpa Drive and Sunnyknoll Avenue. It formerly served as a space for the school’s community garden and also was the home to a storefront and housing property.
